Criteria when opening form

[CharlieNews]

Hi,

I have a button with the following command:

Private Sub OpenQuoteDetails_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_OpenQuoteDetails_Click

Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String

stDocName = "Quote Details"

stLinkCriteria = "[Order]=" & Me![Order Number Combo]
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria


Exit_OpenQuoteDetails_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_OpenQuoteDetails_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_OpenQuoteDetails_Click

End Sub

I would like to add and OR option to the link criteria to:
stLinkCriteria = "

=" & Me![QuoteNumber]

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

Charlie

I would like to add and OR option to the link criteria to:
stLinkCriteria = "

=" & Me![QuoteNumber]

Sure. The stLinkCriteria variable just needs to contain a text string
containing a valid SQL WHERE clause (without the word WHERE). You can see how
such a string is constructed by just using the query design window to build
the query you want, and then viewing this query in SQL view; see what's after
the keyword WHERE.

In this case it would be:

stDocName = "Quote Details"

stLinkCriteria = "[Order]=" & Me![Order Number Combo] & " OR

= " _
& Me![QuoteNumber]
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria

This string should look like

[Order]=123 OR

= 36

if you use Debug to step through the code and view the stLinkCriteria value.
